SWAN VALLEY PLANNING
SCHEME
1368. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the
Minister for Planning:
I again refer to the draft Swan
Valley Planning Scheme—or the scheme that was published for public
comment from 14 October until 14 November 2020.
(1) To what
degree was the City of Swan consulted on the draft Swan Valley Planning Scheme
prior to its publication; on what dates and with whom did that consultation
occur, and what specific written advice was
provided to the minister's departmental officers; and how was that
advice incorporated into the draft scheme?
(2) How many
public and/or private comments were received throughout the consultation
process?
(3) Will these
comments be published; and, if not, why not?
(4) Will the
minister be afforded adequate time to contemplate and, when possible,
incorporate those comments, including those representations made by business
following the closure of the public comment period before the scheme is
gazetted?
